Following recent clues, EA officially announcesCrysis 3, saying the next installment in Crytek's first-person shooter series is due in spring of next year for Windows, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. "Crysis 3 is a thrilling mix of sandbox gameplay, advanced combat and hi-tech human and alien weaponry that shooter fans will love," said Cevat Yerli, Chief Executive Officer of Crytek. "Leveraging the latest CryENGINE technology, we’re able to deliver seven unique themes that offer stunning and visually loaded gameplay experiences. We cannot wait until people get their hands on the game." Though still a year off, they already outline three early multiplayer unlocks you can earn by preordering the Crysis 3 Hunter Edition (though the link they provide doesn't lead anywhere yet) as well as additional perks like a nanosuit module and an XP boost. Like Crysis 2, the sequel is set in a future version of New York City, here are some screenshots, and here's word:

Players take on the role of ‘Prophet’ as he returns to New York, only to discover that the city has been encased in a Nanodome created by the corrupt Cell Corporation. The New York City Liberty Dome is a veritable urban rainforest teeming with overgrown trees, dense swamplands and raging rivers. Within the Liberty Dome, seven distinct and treacherous environments become known as the Seven Wonders. This dangerous new world demands advanced weapons and tactics. Prophet will utilize a lethal composite bow, an enhanced Nanosuit and devastating alien tech to become the deadliest hunter on the planet.

Are you fucking that retarded and lonely? "Everyone" is common exaggeration. Would you prefer that I said "Many" or "Quite a few", what would you use then to contradict what I say? Hack.

Hahaha, what a surprise, a petulant tantrum and some personal insults from little Krovven. I shouldn't be surprised, that is pretty much all you do to people around here. How dare I have the nerve to...disagree with you about what the general feedback on Crytek games is! Yes when you make vague assertions people might actually disagree with them. It's not a personal affront to disagree with Krovven The Mighty Loudmouth. Stop being such a whiny baby, you do enough wannabe ebullying around here as it is.

The bow looks absurd and out of place in the setting, its pretty much indefensible but if you want to RP Legolas then its your $60, whatever

When we have more to go on then I'm sure myself (and the many others who commented about it) will talk about that too.
